CAUTION: Some parts may have sharp edges; to avoid injury, wearing gloves during assembly, lifting or mov-
ing the grill is recommended.
Step 2: Install the Casters
This step requires 2 people.
Parts Required:
(4) Casters (2 with brake, rear; 2 without brake, front)
(1) Block (not included)
(16) 1/4-20 Flange Nut (50001176)
Figure 1
NOTE: Casters (wheels) may differ from those shown in the illustration depending on the model you
purchased.
Select a side to begin installing the casters. Place a block of wood, thick telephone book or anything
else available - approximately 6 inches thick - under the side to support the weight of the barbecue. In-
sert the four (4) bolts attached on the casters into their respective holes located on the bottom, near the
front. If you have any difficulty snapping them into place, try rotating the casters in a circular motion.
As one person holds the front caster in place, the other opens the front door and installs four (4) flange
nuts. Tighten the flange nuts on the front caster. Repeat this process with the rear caster. When both
casters are in place on one side, repeat the same procedure on the opposite side.
